Abstract

A fish scaling assembly includes at least one assembly blade adapted for engagement and reciprocation by the electric knife handle and a generally wedge-shaped scale removing member carried by the at least one assembly blade.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1. A fish scaling assembly for use with an electric knife handle, comprising:
 at least one assembly blade adapted for engagement and reciprocation by the electric knife handle, said at least one assembly blade including a main blade segment having a segment end, a blade bevel extending from said main blade segment and a handle insertion segment extending from said blade bevel; and 
 a generally wedge-shaped scale removing member carried by said at least one assembly blade. 
 
     
     
       2. The fish scaling assembly of  claim 1  further comprising a plurality of serrations on said at least one assembly blade. 
     
     
       3. The fish scaling assembly of  claim 1  wherein said scale removing member comprises a lower surface, a front surface disposed at an acute angle with respect to said lower surface and a scale removing edge demarcating said front surface from said lower surface. 
     
     
       4. The fish scaling assembly of  claim 3  wherein said scale removing member further comprises an upper surface extending rearwardly from said front surface. 
     
     
       5. The fish scaling assembly of  claim 4  wherein said scale removing member further comprises a rear surface extending between said lower surface and said upper surface. 
     
     
       6. The fish scaling assembly of  claim 5  wherein said scale removing member further comprises an inner surface extending between said lower surface and said upper surface and carried by said at least one assembly blade. 
     
     
       7. A fish scaling assembly for use with an electric knife handle, comprising:
 a pair of elongated, adjacent assembly blades adapted for engagemen: and reciprocation by the electric knife handle, each of said assembly blades including a main blade segment having a segment end, a blade bevel extending from said main blade segment and a handle insertion segment extending from said blade bevel; and 
 a pair of generally matching, symmetrical, wedge-shaped scale removing members carried by said assembly blades, respectively. 
 
     
     
       8. The fish scaling assembly of  claim 7  further comprising a plurality of serrations on at least one of said assembly blades. 
     
     
       9. The fish scaling assembly of  claim 7  wherein each of said scale removing members comprises a lower surface, a front surface disposed at an acute angle with respect to said lower surface and a scale removing edge demarcating said front surface from said lower surface. 
     
     
       10. The fish scaling assembly of  claim 9  wherein each of said scale removing members further comprises an upper surface extending rearwardly from said front surface. 
     
     
       11. The fish scaling assembly of  claim 10  wherein each of said scale removing members further comprises a rear surface extending between said lower surface and said upper surface. 
     
     
       12. The fish scaling assembly of  claim 11  wherein each of said scale removing members further comprises an inner surface extending between said lower surface and said upper surface and carried by said at least one assembly blade. 
     
     
       13. A fish scaling assembly for use with an electric knife handle, comprising:
 a pair of generally elongated, parallel, adjacent assembly blades each including:
 a main blade segment having a segment end and a handle insertion segment extending from said main blade segment and adapted for engagement and reciprocation by the electric knife handle; and 
 
 a pair of generally matching, symmetrical, wedge-shaped scale removing members carried by said assembly blades, respectively and each including:
 an inner surface carried by a corresponding one of said assembly blades; 
 a generally convex, curved outer surface spaced-apart from said inner surface; 
 a lower surface extending between said inner surface and said outer surface; 
 a front surface extending between said inner surface and said outer surface and disposed at an acute angle with respect to said lower surface; 
 a scale removing edge demarcating said front surface from said lower surface; 
 an upper surface extending rearwardly from said front surface; and 
 a rear surface extending between said lower surface and said upper surface and between said inner surface and said outer surface. 
 
 
     
     
       14. The fish scaling assembly of  claim 13  wherein each of said assembly blades comprises an outer blade surface, an inner blade surface, a lower blade edge and an upper blade edge and wherein a corresponding one of said scale removing members is carried by said outer blade surface of a corresponding one of said assembly blades. 
     
     
       15. The fish scaling assembly of  claim 14  further comprising at least one blade notch in said lower blade edge. 
     
     
       16. The fish scaling assembly of  claim 13  further comprising a plurality of blade serrations in said main blade segment of each of said assembly blades.
